Hide, or we all frown

With a heart somewhat heavy today I write these thoughts.
I shall run and hide for my face is not worthy. I let people down, I tell them I can, I do do my best, but it is still not what they expect. How does one satisfy an expectation that is unreachable? Literally something you cannot achieve without failing first. And in order to fail you must satisfy that expectation.

My brother is one of my biggest influences in my life outside of God. I respect him so very much that I take to heart anything he says (positive or negative). He is someone I look to for guidance, and someone I take criticism from. I do not always accept what he says, but I always think his views more than mine. He has shown me what it is to be and live as a man of God. We used to fight a lot, and now we are usually on the same page about most things. I talk to him everyday about almost everything. 

Today I have this feeling of letting him down, but without the ability to fix it. With a sunken in chest that happens when you hear bad news, or the headache you get when you want someone to see what you see and they just can't. Your day is instantly "ruined" and stuck thinking about a conversation.

--The day is grey and the mood is null. 
The ground is set for the battle. 
But why fight when your colors are the same. 
Strike down the thoughts of the blind
See the foolishness in front of you--

Beautiful you are

Yesterday was Valentine's Day as we all know. I did not have a Valentine, but I did not dwell on that either. I was actually inspired to write lyrics based upon whomever will be my future wife. And how no matter what I will love her and cherish her. Typically in my mind I hate lyrics that speak too clear, that point you without thinking. But in this case I felt that the word "beautiful" should be focused on more than ever in our world. Because beauty is true, and everyone sees beauty in their lives (whether or not they notice it is their doing). My love has not come yet, but I will anticipate how beautiful you will be to me. I live, love, hope for you.


"Beautiful you are
Like the wind like the stars
Beautiful you are
You are beautiful

From a day without you
Telling stories of past hurt
Lighting candles in the dark
I know you are my Perfect

Beautiful you are
Like the wind like the stars
With angels in your heart
Beautiful you are

Bruised battered you always glow
Help me, help me they always say
You never complain but smile
My soul will fly away with you, only you"
